AP Data posting to General Ledger in AX 2012

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ING 220

In almost all other accounting systems, I am used to being able to view transaction data, including AP data such as vendor name and invoice number, in the general ledger.  This would either be through an inquiry (which is AX is inquiry voucher transactions) or a GL detail report (in AX the divided trial balance).  There is no AP data like this posting to the GL in AX 2012.  Is it possible to change the set up in AX 2012 so that this AP data can be viewed in the GL, or included in a report in the GL, or am I just setting the criteria for the inquiry and divided trial balance incorrectly.

    Hi ING,

    Management Reporter (MR) has the possibility to add columns with the Vendor name. In the past we created some customized reports for a similar requirement, but with MR you can configure it yourself. There are more attributes available. You can read it here: blogs.msdn.com/.../dynamics-ax-2012-attributes.aspx

    Thank you for your response and that would work if those fields were attributes in the management reporter data mart, but the way our system was set up they are not available in the data mart.  My question is how do we configure AX 2012 so that the data goes to the AX GL.

    This may or may not be relevant ...

    Try this ...

    Navigate in the AX client to General Ledger > Setup > General Ledger Parameters

    Select the Batch Transfer Rules vertical tab on the left

    In the grid, you can setup how things are transferred to the general journal

    A bit more info ...

    "The accounting framework is also responsible for transferring subledger journal entries to the general journal.  Rules for subledger journal transfers are specified by legal entity and source document type, and they determine when the subledger journal is transferred to the general journal and whether summarization occurs on transfer."

    There is no setup or configuration available which you are looking for.

    I suggest you should analyse and do some customization in report and inquiry screen..

    Dynamics ax is having all the data available in vendTrans table..

    Please verify and update us with your findings...

    Hi ING,

    As meant in my previous answer and also suggested by some other persons, a customized report will help you.

    Possibly you can use financial dimensions to setup the needed attributes, but that would be cumbersome. It is not a normal use to have invoice numbers in a dimension.

    Thank you for coming right and out saying that there is no way to do this within AX.  I consider it serious design flaw in the program to miss this basic information need.  We will pursue report customizations as suggested.
